Trees that are diseased
Trees with diseases may pose a threat to other trees and plants in the area. The signs of disease that are common on trees are yellowing leaves, wilted branches, and the growth of mushrooms at the root or the trunk. If you suspect your tree may be diseased, it’s important to have it examined by an arborist who is a professional.
Leaning Trees
Trees that are leaning to one side can be an indication that the root system is failing, and the tree could be at risk of falling. To find out if a tree that is leaning could be a threat, check for cracks or broken areas in the trunk and examine the soil around the base of the tree. If you see any of these indicators it is recommended to get the tree examined by an arborist.
Overhanging Branches
The branches of overhanging trees which are located close to power lines or structures can be a danger to property and safety. If you have concerns regarding branches that hang overhanging you should have the tree evaluated by an arborist who can determine whether removal or pruning is required.
